Excellent Working Environment
Excellent Working Environment
The compensation is great. The work-life balance varies, though it is generally good. They take personal growth seriously, giving constructive feedback often to ensure you have a chance to reach your potential. Under the right circumstances, they'll also let you work from home, which is awesome.
They take the Amazon Leadership Principles very seriously, and it's a good list. Google for it; they won't let me add a link here.
Times when management has decided on a deadline can mean overtime. This hasn't happened a lot to me yet, but it's happened once in 8 months at least.

It was a long process with lots of people involved. It took place over three weeks, and I met twelve different hiring managers and their teams. I ultimately did not take the job and found a smaller organization I wanted to join.

OA followed by the final round three weeks later. I didn't do very well on the online assessment, maybe 13 out of 20 test cases. I thought I did pretty well on the final round but didn't prepare for behavioral questions well enough.

Three-hour loop interview. First round: Three medium LeetCode questions. Second round: All leadership principles. Third round: Two coding and two leadership principles. I think it was more focused on how you deal with a particular situation.
